“Okay so I love food…and if I could eat Taco Bout It everyday I would! LolI’ve had their nachos, surf and turf burrito , shrimp burrito, and fish tacos thus far and everything and every time has been a 10/10! The burrito’s are huge and stuffed to perfection and the taste is perfection! The nachos and burritos are so jam packed they can be shared amongst 2 people! I will forever order from here!“

“Tried their dessert - love chips - amazing!“

“One of my favorite places to get food. Foods always sooooo good and the people are so nice, even when I'm being a little annoying with my 13 people orders (I always get help when I have like 4 bags of foods). As a Muslim it is really hard to find good halal places that won't cost an arm and a leg, and this is is really affordable for the amount of food you are getting. I hope this place never closes. 10/10 would recommend“

“Wonderful dining experience“

“Food is awesome. Service is top notch.“

“Great place … Clean, New, Great food…. Awesome drinks..“

“Today, while visiting Springfield for work, I stumbled upon an amazing Latin American restaurant. It was undoubtedly the best Latin American restaurant I've tried recently. My partner and I had burritos and fajitas, and they were delicious. Although I don't live in this area, I was so impressed that despite being full, I ordered more food to take away. The staff were also friendly, making our day even more enjoyable. I am grateful for the pleasant experience and would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We eat here once a week, faithfully. Actually because we have such a big order, we order it for delivery to Piscataway. I ate there twice in the restaurant and was HOOKED! The flavors are so DELICIOUS! We’ve have our favorite menu items and a nice variety. Hands down best place to eat!“

“los taquitos de birria más ricos que he probado!!!“

“Went to this texMex deli for breakfast and boy oh boy they didn’t disappoint. They have huge menu for breakfast and lunch. This place has parking and lots of seating. We tried they their veg burrito ? and loved it. They have a sepatar veggie menu too. Will definitely visit again.“

“This place is so good! New in Pitt“

“Excelent and good customer service.“

“We enjoyed our self’s so much and it was great food“

“We had a great meal at LaColina Mexican Cantina. We got seated pretty quick but we did get there by 6… got a little more crowded at 7 on a Saturday night. Food options were great as well as the drinks. Atmosphere was great also and there was a good amount of people there on a Saturday night. Just one down side… I don’t like that they automatically add on 20% tip on the bill. Tip should be based on great service and at the customers discretion.“

“Muy buen servicio, la comida con el mejor sabor en New Jersey.“

“We ordered Mexican Spice for a party, in consultation with the owner. It was beautifully prepared, ready on time, and delicious. Yum. Everyone loved the food. Highly recommend. (note, mostly a take out place, thus the four stars on atmosphere)

Vegetarian options: The cauliflower and chickpea dish is great. As are the guac and Mexican rice. Chips made fresh. Both flour and corn tortillas are excellent.“

“First time in there..very cool! Great food! And I love the atmosphere..in and outside..good service overall...a little pricey though..and according to the sign in front outside..it says low prices... definitely not low prices...but...when I have a little extra for some great mexican food..I'm.going here!“

“Recommended to take away because it has a smell, I don't know if it's the bathroom, but it smells like black water, apart from that, very delicious and varied food, different from the others in the area. ????? aaaa good cucumber water...“

“I would have given 5 but I need to go back a few times. Great service, food was fresh and on point. I had the Barria tacos with cheese..the give 4 tacos that were filled just right. Wife had Barria quesidilla which she couldn't even finish. Server was helpful and friendly and food came out fast and hot.

Kid-friendliness: Offers kid menu

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level no steps“

“I recently ordered from Guerreros Taqueria and it was a delightful experience. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious, showcasing authentic flavors that reminded me of home-cooked meals. The service, as always, was exceptional, with prompt delivery and courteous staff. As a bonus, we received free chips and salsa with our last catering order, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving delicious Mexican cuisine and excellent service.“

“Great Mexican dishes with nice vegetarian selections“

“Went here for dinner tonight the first time. Food was absolutely amazing. Stephanie was our host/server and she was fantastic at recommendations. Food was delicious. Will definitely make this my new Spanish go to restaurant. The Salvadorian Chicken Tamale was moist and dense, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. If you order the beef empanadas, ask them for their new homemade hot sauce. It's a perfect blend of sweet & heat to go with the pastry dough. Their plantains were a good addition of sweet to the dense of the meal. Their flan was the perfect size for a nice ending dessert to a very filling meal. Definitely a highly recommended place to get an excellent and very affordable meal.“

“Tacos Basilio has everything, delicious food, good atmosphere and great service. If you are in the Somerset or New Brunswick area you must visit this restaurant. Its owners and staff are always friendly and attentive.

Kid-friendliness: Very suitable for the whole family“

“Friendly service, delicious fajitas, homemade guacamole, shrimp tacos, and chicken soup were some of my favorites!!“

“Alyssa our server was very attentive We had an Awesome experience! The drinks were out fast and our food was Great!“

“this place is UNREAL. I started coming here a few years ago when I started college over at Middlesex. I’ve since then transferred and graduated and still make the trip out there 2-3 times a month. This is my absolute favorite birria place. i’ve tried 5-6 other places and NONE are as good as this one. This birria has such a unique flavor and you can tell there’s a lot that goes into it. They focus a lot on it since it’s the main menu item. I always get the tacos. the horchata is also incredible and the churros are fantastic. Please NEVER CHANGE THE RECIPE! This is the only good birria spot around!

Dietary restrictions: they’re always happy to make something dairy free for my bf.“

“Tried New Brunswick location today for the first time after hearing raving reviews from my co-workers. I am very impressed! I got a burrito box w/ chorizo and added guac, Brussels sprouts & chipotle aioli. Oh my goodness. Delicious! Those brussels were way tasty. Then a bag of chips too. The chips had a hint of lime and lightly salted, so good. Better than chipotles. The bowl was huge; couldn’t finish which made for a great dinner. Can’t wait to come back and keep trying different meats!!“

“I wanted to leave a positive review, because now that the Baja Tacos are off the menu, I’m not sure I’ll be back ? Those were my absolute favorite, and pretty much the only thing I ordered every time! I really hope the best for this place, though, and that it continues to thrive! RIP Baja Tacos, you will be missed.“

“This place really hit the spot. After building up an appetite at the nearby Great Swamp and Raptor Trust, I headed here for lunch on Labor Day with two of my chums. I was a little nervous because we showed up right around 2PM and Casa Maya's website indicated they closed for a bit at 2:30PM, but they let us in and got us a legit meal in time.

The parking situation is a bit awkward and took some navigating. The best comp I can give is the Flatiron Building in New York; the building is basically at the end of a narrow triangle (aka Meyersville and Hickory Tavern), so you have enough space for one or two cars to comfortably pull in on the side, but otherwise it's too close to the road and you end up jutting out into traffic. My chum had to park behind the restaurant and a few other buildings, but it could have been worse. Thankfully I spotted a sign nearby with additional parking instructions or we might have had to have gotten a little more creative in that regard.

The one major negative here is that it feels VERY cluttered and claustrophobic in the restaurant. I didn't see enough of the interior to confirm if they just built in too many tables/booths, but each dining area has a very high partition that makes it feel even smaller. It may just depend on your perspective - some might consider it cozy - but if I have to position my body at certain angles to comfortably navigate the restaurant and my booth, that's a problem for me.

I've stayed away from burritos for a while after experiencing some substandard ones in the Financial District, but I decided to make a comeback with the Tijuana Burrito, which featured marinated pork. I thought it was super tasty. I don't think this type of Mexican restaurant/food would ever be considered truly authentic ethnic cuisine - sort of the Sweet & Sour Chinese takeout equivalent, I suppose - but I'm a huge fan. For someone like me with a texture-based palate who doesn't typically like crunchy stuff in the middle of something soft, this was perfect - everything was saucy and ground down, if that makes sense. The pork was juicy and flavorful, and the sauces were great. It was a very decent portion that I probably only finished because of how many steps I'd accrued in the Swamp.

The service was very good, especially when you consider that they needed to get us our food well before the 2:30PM closure. The food was made to order and yet came out within minutes, allowing us to comfortably consume our entrees. They DID push us out a little after 2:30PM, but I really didn't have an issue with that - we were done with the food and they could have just not allowed new customers in by the time we came in (and we knew about the closure ahead of time). An understandable kick in the rump.

I'm rarely in this area but I'd absolutely come back, especially now that I understand the weird triangle parking lot situation.“

“Excelente lugar familiar. Disfrútalo“

“Good place to go great food“

“The food was super delicious, they have a great variety of sauces. I had several questions about the sauces. A man named Domingo answered everything and explained that they are recipes made by him. He allowed me to try several and notice the difference between sauces. I recommend this place 5 stars ?“

“Everything was delicious! I had one issue with delivery through a third party app and delivery not showing but when food did arrive, chef’s kiss! I had food from the montclair location prior and was reminded of how delicious it was so to to know it’s closer to me is amazing. My favorites are shrimp quesadilla, tamararind, and the churros were perfect. ?“

“Really really a great find my Girlfriend lives in Westfield said "You like Mexican Food let's go here" The food was perfect not blazing hot not too mild it was the best taco I have ever had and the side Cheese and notcho's I highly recommend“

“We were on vacation from Kansas. Place is very inviting, happy and colorful. Their food is fresh, delicious, and it comes in big portions. Highly recommended.“

“This one girl who I met was chill glad they have "great" waiter 10/10??The Alfredo was great. The people are pretty chill and and food has nice flavor and pretty good variety. I wanna say the wait time was great and price wasn't too much for a meal.“

“Buena atencion bariedad de platos tipicos de centro america“

“I just left El Paso Tex-Mex grill and had by far the most delicious and fresh chicken burrito I’ve ever tasted! It even came with a side of chips and salsa. The staff were courteous and the restaurant and bathroom were super clean! There’s even a free secure parking lot right out front. This restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and can accommodate a comfortable group as well. I plan to spread the word… Thanks Paco!!“

“This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is delicious and very authentic. The ambiance and decorations make you feel like you are visiting Mexico. The staff are super friendly too. Overall a great experience.

Parking: When I come at off hours (11:00-3:00 PM) it's easy to find parking on the street. Probably not that easy during the evening rush.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a door right off the street. There should be no problems.“

“I ordered a custom vegetarian burrito online, and it was DELICIOUS!! The vegetables were very fresh and perfectly cooked. The online process was easy, and my food was ready when I arrived to pick it up.

Vegetarian options: They have lots of vegetables to choose from.

Parking: Parking is right in front of store next to the 7-Eleven gas station.“

“surprised to see the low ratings, the food is pretty good and ambiance is vibrant yet nice & low key. I’m afraid the people complaining about operating fees and mandatory tip don’t read the news about how difficult it has become to operate a restaurant business during these times - it’s either drive up the cost of the menu or add in a fee (either way you’re going to get an up charge because this is the state of the economy)“

“Seemed like they only spoke Spanish, but Idk. Prices were fair, portion size was just right, food was fantastic. Served chips with salsa verde. The salsa was spicy in the best way. I got pollo el chipotle. It was perfect. Also got pupusas. Definitely authentic food made very well. So far my favorite Mexican place in New Jersey.“

“My wife and I are on the #eatjersey challenge to visit & have a meal in all 564 towns of NJ. We chose Mis Amigos for Dunellen, our 118th town.

We came for breakfast before a Rutgers football game on a Saturday morning. We had Huevos con Chorizo & Carne Asada con Huevos. Both were excellent with plenty of flavor. The agua de pina was a refreshing to the food. The restaurant was well decorated with lots of color and Mexican artwork.

If you're in the area and looking for a good Mexican breakfast, check out Mis Amigos!“

“Best Qdoba around, top tier service.“

“The best nachos I’ve ever had in my life! Plus amazing tacos that don’t need to be covered half a pound of shredded cheddar to be delicious. This place is legit!“

“El peor restaurante en el área el encargado con la peor actitud un patán prepotente abusivo no recomiendo este lugar basura a nadie. we went to this place for dinner with the family. the manager with the worst attitude ever didn't give us the table because we were waiting for 1 more person we told him he was 3 minutes away and with he's terrible attitude said no and after that he got mad because we grab on of the menus and told us to move out the way from the bar. He was so disrespectful. I would never recommend this place to nobody.“
